Convocations of Canterbury and York
The Convocations of Canterbury and York were of considerable importance until 1970 being the synodical assemblies of the Church of England consisting of bishops and clergy of each of the two provinces into which it is divided. By the 1969 Synodical Government Measure almost all their functions were transferred to the General Synod of the Church of England. They continue to exist, in part because their approval is still required for certain legislative proposals and in part because the House of Bishops and the House of Clergy of the General Synod are constituted by the members of the corresponding houses of the Convocations.
== Structure ==
Each convocation has an upper house, for bishops, and a lower house, for other clergy. All diocesan bishops have a seat in their province's convocation; the suffragan bishops of a province elect a few from among themselves to join them. Most of the "proctors" (members) of the lower house are elected by the diocesan clergy from among their number, although a handful serve ''ex officio'' or are elected by special constituencies (such as universities or cathedral deaneries). Bishops and clergy are members of General Synod by virtue of their membership in one convocation or the other; thus the convocations now form a subset of General Synod and can always conveniently meet during recesses of that body (which is, indeed, the only time they do meet nowadays).
The president of each convocation as a whole is the archbishop of its province; each lower house elects for itself a speaker called the prolocutor.
